This is especially so in Africa where traditional agricultural practices have become unsustainable due to severe exploitation of natural resources with negative impacts on the environment and food system. In addition, agricultural land use in Africa today faces major challenges including increased costs, climate change and a need to transform to more sustainable production intensification systems. Conservation Agriculture has emerged as a major alternative sustainable climate smart agriculture approach in Africa and has spread to many African countries in the past decade as more development and research, including in sustainable mechanization, has enabled its extension and uptake. It is key to transforming Africa's agriculture and food system given its ability to restore soil health, biodiversity and productivity of millions of smallholder farms as well as larger-scale farms. This landmark volume is based on the material presented at the Second Africa Congress on Conservation Agriculture which was held in Johannesburg, South Africa, 9-12 October 2018. The main theme of the Congress was 'Making Climate Smart Agriculture Real in Africa with Conservation Agriculture: Supporting the Malabo Declaration and Agenda 2063'. The Congress was aligned to mobilize stakeholders in all agriculture sectors to provide greater technical, institutional, development and investment support, impetus and direction to the vision and agenda for transforming African agriculture as set out by the Malabo Declaration and Agenda 2063. This book is aimed at all agricultural stakeholders in the public, private and civil sectors in Africa engaged in supporting the transformation of conventional tillage agriculture to Conservation Agriculture. The book will be of interest to: researchers, academics, students, development stakeholders, public and private sector investors and policy makers as well as institutional libraries across the world.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 244mmItem Length: 172mmItem Width: 35mmItem Weight: 1452gContributor: Isaiah Nyagumbo (Contributions by), Sjoerd Duiker (Contributions by), Peter Setimela (Contributions by), Neil Miller (Contributions by), Temakholo Mathebula (Contributions by), Leonard Rusinamhodzi (Contributions by), Cary Clark (Contributions by), Patrick Gicheru (Contributions by), Weldone Mutai (Contributions by), Amir Kassam (Edited by), Michel Havard (Contributions by), Emilio Gonzalez-Sanchez (Contributions by), Mloza Banda (Contributions by), Zwide D Jere (Contributions by), Peter Steward (Contributions by), Walter Mupangwa (Contributions by), Brian G.
